Luton Outlaws - Independent Message Board for Luton Town FC

Don’t think it’s ‘doom merchant’ to make a fair assessment on the situation, as it stands.

Part of the concern is that we’re clearly adopting a different recruitment strategy, of looking to sign players later in the window, to obtain ‘high value’ signings. This differs from our transfer approach previous under 2020/ NJ of recruiting early, to allow new signings a pre season to acclimatise.

It’s a risky tactic, because the way I see it, if we’re still looking short in the last week of the window, selling clubs will likely inflate their fees further; or if we’re competing for high calibre loan players, there’s every chance other champ clubs will also be competing with us.

Considering how disjointed our squad looks, most people (without rose tinted specs on), will say it’s a fair assessment that we will start slowly.
